Events within the month - Performance of “The Deck Boys”- acoustic tunes, September 16, 7 to 9pm, no cover charge. Mark Dunst - Beyond the Now We are in a hamster wheel that endlessly spins in the "eternal present," making it feel impossible to move forward—our past offers no viable solutions to current crises, and our present, marked by complexity, acceleration and instability, is disconnected from any shared vision of the future. This body of work delves into the shared spaces between the past, present, and future, embraces the inherent uncertainty and searches for beauty in the struggle to envisage what could exist "beyond the now." Jeff Leake - October 5 - 28 Nancy Helmsworth / with Doug Anderson and Shelly Fredenberg - November 2 - 28 Maude May - December 2 - 30 |

Painting the InBetween
Kay Henning Danley May 4 - 27, 2023 “Painting the In Between” is the place I go when I'm painting. It’s not realism. And it's also not completely divorced from realism. It's an “in between place” where my best work happens. ACCOMPLICE - Reasonings, Reckonings and Ratios from Elsewhere James Reed March 2 - April 1, 2023 Accomplice is given form and content by these visual artworks and the participation of the viewer in the creative process. I was challenged by the 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional visual design elements that I used in creating these compositions when I chose certain materials and objects to work with. However , with these challenges I was able to discover form and content that I was not yet conscious of. Cleveland High School's International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Exhibition March 2 - April 1, 2023 Cleveland High School HL IB Art seniors presented a selection of their best work, a two year culmination of their IB experience. Participating artists: Adele Avenoso, Ellie Buck, Isabella Cummings, Liam Everson-O’Neil, Ada Hofmeister, Chloe Isaacman, Zeqe Golomb, Salem Khour, Chloe Maher, Lauran Shanley, Grace Springer, Madeleine Wright Two Thousand Nine Hundred Miles Away Jeffrey Fuchs / Sharon February 2 - 25, 2023 Opening Reception: 1st Thursday, February 2, 5 to 8pm. How do we locate ourselves in time and space? Points on a map exert a psychic pull on us, whether through lived experience, family of origin, ancestry, or a lineage of artistic influences we've never met. What does distance mean in a hyperconnected, context-collapsed world, and how is our perspective mediated when we are a nation or a neighborhood away? Some places take on a mythical quality or represent something lost, and others we distance ourselves from, only to be drawn back later in life. How do we hold this constellation while remaining present, engaged, and in relationship with our time and place in this moment? Juried Exhibit - "What If" A Nationally Juried Exhibit January 5 - 28, 2023 What If?? “Last night while I lay thinking here some What Ifs crawled inside my ear and pranced and partied all night long and sang their same What If song” (from a Shel Silverstein poem) Donald Dahlke / Agglomerations Dianne Jean Erickson / Object and Line December 1 - 30, 2022 Donald: My concept of visual art is a process of discovery not bound by artistic convention. My approach is experimental and combines geometric and organic techniques creating entities reflecting my perception of a complex world. Dianne: In my last two series "Women With Attitude" and "Stacked," I used a great deal of color. In this new series "Object and Line," I wanted to simplify color and object, keeping this statement in mind, "what is not included is as important as what is..." The background becomes as important as the object within. Open Channels - Jon Gottshall with Kerry Davis and Anna Daedalus - November 3-26 In the Zone - Serena Barton with Jo Grishman - October 6 - 29 My aim in this body of work is to express the essence of my passions and the excitement of learning itself in visual form. About Face - Mark Danley - September 1 - October 1 RED SCARE - Ruth Ross with Diane Kendall - August 4 - 27 There was no doubt that the “witch hunts” of the 40’s and 50’s, which resulted in the deaths of the Ethel and Julius Rosenberg impacted profoundly my parent’s sense of security. We fled without telling anybody. And most of this was never discussed again. We Are All In This Together - July 2022 Showcasing New Members' work in our Main Gallery Donald Dahlke, Kay Henning Danley, Dianne Jean Erickson, Jeffrey Fuchs, Sharon Servilio Established members' work featured in our South Gallery Pat Barrett, Serena Barton, Mark Danley, Jon Gottshall, Joanie Krug, Jeff Leake, Maude Anne May, James Reed, Ruth Ross Is It Done Yet?

Undercurrent - April 2022
Pat Barrett: My paintings evolve from the physical act of mark-making to the formation of visual patches of color and value. These structures become holders for the ideas and emotions that are influencing the developing painting. I don’t use formulaic strategies. So, it’s critical that I remain alert and open when painting. I am looking for those opportunities that appear during the process that help give structure to whatever it is that I am paying attention to on the most intuitive level. These are matters that for me can only be mediated through the act of painting.
